Well, I had to bring Fleur to the vet today. I had noticed that her eye looked injured and was very cloudy. I also found out that she had some sort of bugs on her. Well, she ended up having a scratch on her eye... poor thing. So she has eye cream and an antibiotic. And the bugs on her were lice. She got a shot of ivermectin. So that means the other two probably have them and we are bringing them later to get shots. I am so mad, I can't believe they have them! I think there are from the Carefresh I had been using for so long. Now they are on fleece. I am just glad that the vet we saw specializes in small animals.
 
I am so glad to hear your little girl will be feeling much better soon.

Keep us updated.
 
Could you describe the cloudy eye. My pig has something very similar, it is very cloudy looks almost blue in the light. He has had some crusty-ness around the eye and I have been rinsing it off, he doesn't seem to mind having it touched at all it just looks very off.
 
Thank you for your input. I have made an appointment at an exotic vet for the earliest appointment. Hopefully everything is okay!
